“…To date, research on Memecylon has mainly focused on its taxonomy, ethnobotany, and evolution (e.g., Amarasinghe, Joshi, et al, 2021;Bremer, 1988;Sivu et al, 2013) (Loarie et al, 2008;Manes et al, 2021;Thuiller et al, 2006) due to occupying specialized niches, limited dispersal capabilities, and reduced adaptive capacities when compared to nonendemic species (Chichorro et al, 2019;Staude et al, 2020). Further, organisms that have more restricted geographical ranges are at greater risk (Elsen & Tingley, 2015;Stubbs et al, 2018) compared to species with large geographical ranges, which may find refugia in parts of their range (Lucas et al, 2019).…”
